im not sure if the osx version of Live! can allow two instances, or I just dont know/see how it's done

pretty sure the eula doesn't allow for it....

It doesn't have anything to do with the EULA.

There is a setting in preferences which relates to it. I haven't tried it much myself and don't have a mac so can't help there if there is a difference

I can't find it in the preferences anyway :\

oh well,

If you've got 4 outputs on your soundcard you could just try it and see, or not

So obviously there's more than one way to do this (in the way of having a setup for a live performance) cool, I understand how to make tracks in Live! from now on, its just the initial problem was trying to interpret what id did in Reason i.e.

into something similar to this...

another gripe is the fact that some of the layers in Reason are repeated (but ambient, so the delays clash together to make it sound the way i want it to, as soon as i make that in a loop, it kind of well.. doesn't sound the same

I never used Reason but I'll give it a try...

You want to hit the "Play" on the Master row(to the right) to play the whole song, right? Okay, you do not really sound like you want that but that's how it makes sense to me from looking at your session window

1st: The speed issue can easily be solved. If you change the name of your section in the Master channel(That's where you store the song names currently) to let's say "113 BPM" Live will automatically change the tempo to 113 BPM once you hit the Play button over there. If you want the song title there you can just use an empty midi clip which you rename respectively.

2nd: Can't you just render the clips you're using with silence in front so they start at the correct position? I suppose the problem you have, that they all start at the first beat.

I hope I understood your problem correctly...I'm not quite sure to be honest
